- (continued from previous page)No place else in all this world its equal can't be found
And in conclusion let us hope
We will have a railway soon
In dear old Ballyvourney near the town of sweet Macroom
- Besides having charges for taking butter people had charms for taking milk from one another and had charms for giving warts to one another also. If a person had warts he would stab them with a pin or a needle and put as many stones as warts into a red little bag and leave them on the road and the person who would find the bag of stones would get the warts.Other people would get rid of the warts by dipping their hands in the water that stops in little holes in rocks and it would cure the warts.
